General description
The DS 3 PureTech 82 Desire is not just a car, it's a statement of intent. Born in 2016 under the umbrella of the newly independent DS brand, this 3-door utility vehicle arrives to conquer the city with an infallible weapon: Parisian design and elegance. It is a vehicle that appeals directly to the heart, offering a distinguished and personal driving experience, powered by an efficient PureTech engine that promises agility and low consumption.
Driving experience
Behind the wheel, the DS 3 feels like an extension of your style. Its 82 horsepower doesn't seek to break records, but to offer a lively and cheerful response for urban traffic. The three-cylinder engine has a characteristic and pleasant sound, and together with the 5-speed manual gearbox, it invites you to a connected and pleasant drive. Its low weight makes it agile and easy to maneuver, turning every journey into a sophisticated ride. It's not the power that makes you fall in love, but the smoothness, comfort, and the feeling of driving something truly special and different.
Design and aesthetics
This is where the DS 3 shines with its own light. Its silhouette is unmistakable, a rolling work of art that refuses to go unnoticed. Details like the floating roof, the characteristic 'shark fin' on the central pillar, and its bold front with the 'DS Wings' grille create a very powerful visual identity. It is a car that plays with colors and textures, offering a level of customization that turns it into a fashion accessory. Every line is designed to seduce, to convey exclusivity and avant-garde.
Technology and features
On board, technology is elegantly integrated to make life easier. The Stop & Start system is a key ally for efficiency in the city, reducing consumption at every traffic light. Although it is not a technological marvel, its infotainment system centralizes essential connectivity and multimedia functions, creating a modern atmosphere. The variable electric power steering according to speed provides extra comfort, hardening on the road for greater safety and being very smooth when parking. It is the right technology at the service of comfort and style.
Competition
The DS 3 enters a territory dominated by style icons like the MINI Cooper and the Audi A1. Against the British heritage and German sobriety, the DS 3 presents itself as the chic and avant-garde alternative with a French flavor. It also competes with the Italian charisma of the Alfa Romeo MiTo. In this battle of personalities, the DS 3 plays the card of originality and bold design, seeking a driver who not only wants a premium car, but a piece of design that reflects their individuality.
